Hello Dakka.

So I've started my Death Korp, and i elided i wanted to be a bit more evil

Ive decided to start a Blood Pact army, seriously, those are so grim dark.

I was thinking about buying Cadians, green stuff, and some empire flagellants to do this.

Use the flagellant heads and arms (customise weapons and add blood pact shoulder pads as i don't like the cadian ones), and also use the flagellant heads and sculpt on the spiked german helmets, not sure about the grotesque masks yet…these might be new troops.
Then greenstuff knee pads and chaos and gory decorations, maybe get some backpacks…all done (painting should be quite easy)

Thoughts?.

Sounds like quite a easy and cheap option for blood pact imo

Hi Archie

These are my blood pact made using heads & backpacks from Maxmini:



If you want GW heads try the heads from the Dark Elf Executioners and alternate witch elves. Very sinister and cool looking masks on them.

Im not sure, i think id enjoy sculpting my own helmets, i might even keep away from helmets for my first bunch, so they look like new recruits.

Although i must admit i do like the renegade bodies, might get those.

Ok, I've decided it would be cheaper to buy the legs, heads,a and bodies from Blightwheel, but I'm also going to get the Flagellants for weapons and arms, which should look great. I may also use the flagellant heads too…for conscripts or something. Should all the pieces work together and goto scale?.

I can't speak to the rest of the range but the Britannic Hellington officer I bought comes out noticeably bigger than standard guardsmen. He's a bit taller than a space marine.

Blightwheel's products are awesome, though!

Hmmm, guess i could just chop the legs down ;D

That would work well, just need some green stuff

So, i found a cheaper option.

Im getting the penal legion arms and legs from Victoria miniatures, then I'm getting the renegade torsos from blight wheel. Im not sure about heads yet, as i might just go with some bald and disfigured heads. This is going to be a constrict squad, and I'm going to properly armour my veterans.
